Time is a great healer. Unless it's a rash, then you're better off with ointment.

Well.
all those things happened to test You Damien....
Good to see you didn't change over to a manual...
I also had many problems during My resto.....
took Me 6 months to get the car into gear????
was adjusting the wrong direction....
I have a brazillian weber [solex replacement] with no choke, and it worked OK in the winter...
well it still worked...!! lol..
I know a fellow with the choke piece to fit My Carb,
reminds Me I'll have to go and see him before next winter..lol...
I would like to lower the rear of My beetle one day, although it had air shocks on the rear when i bought it, so it may settle down by itself... many of the 1500 do settle.
I still have lots to do to mine too....
even though It just got passed for rego for the 2nd time in 10 years...
I'm putting an alarm in next.... I have numerous alarms here but I can't get them to work the way i want, so I'm using a DSE kit....
I really want an alarm that beeps and flashes when its turned on and off....
but I'll have to buy one in the future sometime....
My front tyres rub now and then, so its up the height or use 135x15 tyres....
Your black wheels and white walls look great...
and the two tone paint too....
Its great we all have different tastes....
cheers

Damien,
It's pretty easy to get the nosecone, bellhousing and sump plate off. You should have a drain plug in the gear housing but damn the oil takes forever to drain out of it!
Probably better off chroming the "T" and wall mounting it!
Ouch about the choke wire:puke
Good luck with it all!
